CODE: G25926Olive ‘Mission’ – 20cm
Olive Mission is a highly decorative fruiting tree with slender green leaves with silver undersides. Very drought tolerant once established, can be grown in the garden or larger pots. All Olives require humus-rich soil which has good drainage as they dislike sitting in water for long periods. Olive Mission produces medium green fruits which ripen to a deep purple, almost black colour in Autumn. Popular as a table olive and for preserving. Low water requirements once established in the garden. If grown in containers keep well watered over the Summer. A great variety to be grown in colder climates like Victoria as it will still produce an abundance of fruit. Slow growing.
Olives are mainly self-fertile; however, they produce higher and better quality crops with a pollinator.
